TripleC Youth Theatre
- Does your young person love to perform?
- Do they enjoy all things creative and using their imagination?
- Are they looking for a high quality, fun space where they can make friends?
Every young person has the right to self-express through drama and creativity. We know that barriers often exist for deaf, disabled and/or neurodivergent (DDN) young people.
So we decided to create our very own FREE, accessible TripleC Youth Theatre! We launched in January 2024. We run sessions every Monday evening. Please come along and try it for free!
Sign up via Eventbrite and make sure you register for the session/time slot that would be suitable for you or your young person.

About The TripleC Youth Theatre:
Starting back this Autumn our terms run weekly on
Mondays from September 2024 until Easter 2025.
There are two age groups: 8 -11 years and 12 -16 years.
The younger age group session runs from 4.30pm – 5.30pm (1 hour).
The older age group from 6.00pm – 7.30pm (1.5 hours).
It’s FREE to attend. We ask young people to commit to attending every week across the term.
The Youth Theatre sessions are led by professional actors and directors who work in TV and theatre. TripleC Youth Lead Ged Mulherin will be facilitating all the sessions alongside Nickie Miles Wildin and Andy Duffy. They are designed for young deaf, disabled and/or neurodivergent (DDN) people with a passion for the performing arts. Together we explore creativity through the use of drama-based games, improvisation, character-building, role play and storytelling.
The Eventbrite link to book your place on the youth theatre is now open.
A Message From Ged
Hi, I’m Ged Mulherin and I will be co-running the taster sessions & the Youth Theatre.
I’m one of the co founders of TripleC. My passion is working with young people and using drama & improvisation to encourage and develop confidence and wellbeing.
I trained as an actor and have 25 years experience working in both theatre & television.
For the last few years I have been focusing on working with young people with an interest in theatre and the creative arts.
I work regularly at Z-arts as a drama sessions leader and creative educator.
I also work as a professional storyteller, providing story time
and drama workshops in libraries throughout Greater Manchester.
For the sessions, the whole idea will be to encourage and develop talent in the young Manchester DDN Community.
There will be a selection of drama based games, improvisations and brilliant guests who are artists & actors dropping in throughout the terms.
You don’t need to bring anything apart from enthusiasm and energy.
